    History of the Kashmir Conflict Part II

    How did a small mountainous kingdom become a world flashpoint? We revisit the immediate aftermath of Indian partition, when a peace brokered between India and Pakistan promised to resolve the dispute over Kashmir by plebiscite. The vote never happened, and in 1965 the two countries went to war again. Plus: tax reform bulldog Grover Norquist says John Ashcroft is going too far to get terrorists. And: putting the MEN back in menopause.

Lines in the Sand

Rachel Bronson, Senior Fellow and Director of Middle East Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations says that Iraq is a problem that can't wait. Former UN Weapons Inspector, Scott Ritter, cautions that there isn't enough evidence to justify a war on Iraq.
